So I was looking at this thread when I realized that I had a lot of free time, so I decided to sprite some artifacts to hopefully help move these suggestions into actuality.

Hearts!
I like how these turned out.
Now, why go through the trouble of making these artifact hearts instead of letting the already in place small artifacts act as hearts?
Because then no one would ever get artifact heart transplants. The common procedure for finding a handheld artifact is: Picking it up, clicking on it to see if you can tighten your grip on it (Indicating that it's a beaker.), clicking a tile far away with it in the active hand, clicking a tile right next to your with it it in an active hand, hitting yourself (Or a passerby) with it, and then giving up hope of it being fun and tossing it aside. Ideally, you'd then send it to the artlab, but realistically, no one does that, ever.
That doesn't mean that the small artifacts can't be used as organ transplants, it rather means that when you find one of these, they're guaranteed to have an effect upon heart transplant. As to if that effect is good or bad, who knows. These being present means that there's the chance for people to just "wing it" and transplant hearts into people, not caring for if they're dangerous are not, instead of learning that their inactive artgun isn't a heart as their victim patient is bleeding out on the operating table.
